Why do you want to be so close to the Seine? Rue Laromiguiere is really nice, I think, and it's pretty quiet around there.

However, if you want to be strolling along the Seine, I can see that you are farther away there. Rue Laromiguiere isn't really very far from Luxembourg Gardens, either, you know, it's just the opposite direction.

1800 euros is a lot of money, but that's what you have to pay in that area, I guess. If money is no object, it sounds from the things you are saying that you'd prefer the one on Guisarde. I think it looks nice enough. Obviously a 60 m2 apt. is not huge, so the LR probably is small. The price I see says about 1100 euro and that it includes the agency fee, so where does the 1450 euro come from? Also, this one is on the 5th floor (with elevator) and the other on the second on a pretty busy and small street, so I think the one on Guisarde could be very noisy. I don't really like that area, it's full of tourists and very noisy, and the restaurants on Guisarde aren't that great IMO, but I know many people on this board like that area and you could, too, as your desires and tastes are probably closer to them than mine, actually. I would prefer the one on Laromiguiere for location.

However, the one on Guisarde is more convenient to metro, that is very true. That will come in handy. ALso, it has AC. I'm not clear when you are going, but in summer, that definitely gives that a big advantage.

It's not quite my style, that barebones Ikea stuff, but it's not too bad. I've seen a lot worse.

You've got some great feedbacks already. Since I'm not as familiar with location-wise as others, I'll just comment on the photos and the apts alone.

Apt 1: Living Rm 45m2; Bedrm 12m2
Apt 2: Living Rm 26m2; Bedrm 16m2

So, apt 1 has more room in the living area, but apt 2 has more room in the bedroom (though the pic shown seems a bit cramped due to the dressers and bookcase)

I like the look of Apt 1 since it seems more modern, but I cannot stand that picnic-bench dining table! How uncomfortable that is if I have to sit there for dinner. Part of renting an apt is the benefit of cooking and eating in, but I would hate to have to eat my meals in that set-up!

BTW, I assume you'll be putting your suitcases in the bedroom, so perhaps Apt 2 will work better because the bedroom is bigger.
